The typical starting dose for Viagra is 50mg. This dose works well for many men. However, your doctor might recommend a different starting point depending on your individual health and medical history.
Titration means adjusting your dose based on how your body responds. Here’s how it works:
- If 50mg is effective but side effects are minimal: Maintain this dose. If 50mg is not effective: Your doctor may increase the dose to 100mg. This is the maximum recommended dose. If 50mg causes significant side effects: Your doctor may lower the dose to 25mg.
Remember, dosage adjustments should always be made under the guidance of your physician. Never alter your dose without consulting your doctor first.
Factors influencing the appropriate dose include:
Your age Your overall health Other medications you are taking Severity of erectile dysfunction
Your doctor will consider these factors to determine the best starting dose and subsequent adjustments for you. Open communication with your doctor is key to finding the right dosage and managing potential side effects.
